Close to public transport and was very quiet - Review of Bayview on the Park

I stayed with my 16 year old neice. We had a premier room overlooking the lake. The room was comfortable and clean. We both enjoyed our stay, next time we will both take our bathers as the pool looked very inviting. We were able to leave our car at the hotel after checking out, the staff were very friendly. Its close to public transport and was very quiet.

I enjoyed my stay here very much , rooms were a little dated but they did the job. And found the price reasonable .

I dined for dinner in the restraunt whilst here . I quite possibly had the best service from a man called Kamlesh . He is very efficient and friendly . He was attentive And very very good at his job . And his beautiful French accent and personality made the dining experience very enjoyable . Defiantly a valued member of staff ! .

Stayed for 4 days in Jan 2013. Room very small and borderline clean. Air conditioning not obvious but at least it worked. Prices jumped 50$ extra the last 2 nights because hotel was becoming full for the Tennis Australian Open. Wireless internet did not work after we paid 18$/day for it - but with a cord we managed to have internet... unpleasant. Pool looked nice unfortunately did not have time to enjoy. The bell boy was very useful for various information! Proximity to beautiful Albert Park and close to Alfred Hospital for those looking for that.

The premier rooms are very large but the furnishings pretty basic. Checking-in can be very slow if you happen to arrive just behind a tour group and the sole lift (the other one was out of order) was painfully slow. The shower is not fancy but good and this more or less captures our stay in the Bayview. This is not a 4-star hotel as advertised, possibly 3-star, but if you get a deal (we paid $92 per night) it is well worth it. Otherwise go for Parkview hotel just around the corner for a flashier experience.

The room was very run down. Blankets had many holes, tv was a tiny non flat screen and yet they wanted $20 for an inhouse movie. Pool said it was heated but was freezing. Staff at the front desk ignored me and served other customers around me. Walls seemed thin. No money seemed to have been spent for a long time.

I stayed here for 6 days in Nov, 2012 with excellent experience for first 5 days and rather poor experience on the last day and this was only because of the change in room.They have some excellent rooms right opposite Albert Park which provides for a lovely view of golf course, lake with several black swans and generally a good feel.Then there are certain rooms which are on the other side, tiny ghetto like rooms with view of the parking lot. While taking a room here, just see the room beforehand so that you have a good experience. Price differential between the two kinds was hardly $20 or so.Their restaurant was always full so I couldnt really try it. There are some decent eateries nearby- excellent Salad bar on St Kilda and some nice cafes nearby- Cafe Promenade etc.

Room Tip: Try getting a room facing Albert park

I've stayed here once before (in 2008), in a superior room, and I recall thinking it was pretty good. However, my impression on coming back now 5 years later is that virtually no maintenance has happened in those 5 years. I stayed in a basic room this time, but despite that, I was surprised that the standards seemed so much lower. The paintwork (in the hotel as a whole) is outdated and chipped, and the furnishings in my room were old. Even the external wall showed evidence that a sign had been removed, but the wall not re-painted. First impressions = poor.Unfortunately my trip coincided with the tennis, so the hotel did seem busy. When I arrived to check in, there was a small group being dealt with by one receptionist, and I was left to wait a long time. The other receptionist took at least 10mins to even acknowledge my presence while he continued to answer the phone. I was also quite taken aback when another guest approached him (while I was still patiently waiting) to ask after a local bottle-shop, and the answer was, 'I don't know', rather than, 'Give me a moment, Sir, and I will find out for you.' When I was eventually acknowledged and served, checking in was relatively painless.My room was an adequate size, and furnished to a basic standard. The non-intuitive aircon and tv annoyed me, requiring me to call reception to figure out both (a 'light' switch on the bedside console to get the tv to turn on, and having to point the aircon remote at an unmarked grate above the door). The lack of detail on the cleaning bothered me: dirty curtains, dirt inside the bar fridge, a hair in the bathtub, an earring on the bathroom floor, dust on the toilet roll holder, and mould around the bath. The finale was the cockroach I found running across my bathroom floor. The fact that the curtains didn't actually close properly was also annoying.So, whilst my stay was comfortable, and adequate, it was far from perfect. I would give the hotel a 2-3 star rating, but most definitely not a 4 star. It is extremely unlikely that I will come again, nor recommend to anyone else.
